Bolometric correction factor and radiative efficiency for the super-Eddington accretion flow in tidal disruption events
Yongxin Wu, Erlin Qiao, Xuan Fang +3
The estimate of the bolometric luminosity and the radiative efficiency are two key aspects for understanding the properties of the accretion flow around a supermassive black hole (…
Long thermonuclear burst driven thermal-viscous instability of accretion disk: triggering an outburst-like X-ray flare
Wenhui Yu, Zhaosheng Li, Yuanyue Pan +2
We report on NICER and MAXI observations of a long-duration thermonuclear X-ray burst and a subsequent outburst-like X-ray flare from the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary MAXI J0…
Radiation hydrodynamic simulations for the origin of quasi-periodic oscillations for accretion onto supermassive black holes
Yiyang Lin, Erlin Qiao, Jifeng Liu +2
Quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) has been detected in several accreting supermassive black hole (SMBH) systems, including active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and tidal disruption events…
Probing the Strong Gravity Region of Black Holes with eXTP
Qingcui Bu, Cosimo Bambi, Lijun Gou +42
We present the novel capabilities of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission to study the strong gravity region around stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binary sys…
